While looking at the NicoNico 25th Anniversary stream for footage to use in a secret project I discovered there's a Sonic Cafe here in Japan. I could, in theory, go and drink "Experimental Solution from Tails' Lab" and eat "Shadow's Black Curry" and obtain a Sonic Drift 2 coaster. They also announced a Sonic Fan Thanksgiving event at Joypolis on Dec 23rd, so maybe I'll go there and get Iizuka to sign a Mario ad again.

What Sega considers canon changes pretty regularly but currently it's pretty nonsensical. What little has been leaked from the current series bible is weird as hell, like Sonic's world and Earth (the one in the adventure games) being two separate worlds that Sonic can travel between through a gate like in Sonic X. The only way for something resembling "canon" to make sense is to just consider the current game and whatever other games it references it's own canon.Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Rivals and DS Colours don't count due to being spinoffs and alternate versions respectively, while Generations is only loosely canon due to time travel related shenanigans. So any Silver appearances post-Sonic 06 don't count in my mind, and by god they'd better keep it that way. The current head of the Sonic series wrote the story to the Rivals games and the official Japanese Sonic site recently added an Eggman Nega profile saying he's from the future. Sonic Runners references Colors DS too so I dunno, maybe Sonic Team considers that the definitive one. Hitlersaurus Christ fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Nov 2, 2016 |

Transformed was amazing but I do feel like the generic, non-game-related items hurt it. Every one of them could have been something from a Sega game and there's no good reason why they aren't. I want a sequel so bad though. A sequel with an Ecco level. And a playable Phantasy Star character. And Big.

I hope the 3rd gameplay style is playing as Eggman (Eggmen?), Tron Bonne style. TFRazorsaw posted:Honestly, my metric is "could they get away with this on an episode of Ninja Turtles? Yes? Okay then, if it's fine there, it's fine for Sonic." Their Eggman dialogue is ace though. The PA announcements in Colors were amazing. I heard a rumor that Ian Flynn from the comics (and the forums!!) is writing the story this time around, which I hope is true. By the way everyone, please help me out with my lovely version of Sonic Generations, thanks Hitlersaurus Christ fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Mar 17, 2017 |

He's got a lot of range. He did the songs for the Knuckles levels in SA2, too! Crisis City, Rooftop Run, all of Sonic Lost World and Sonic Runners, and Pumpkin Hill... all the same dude.

I've been playing the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo on Switch with my friend a lot, and he asked if I played Puyo Puyo as a kid. (I should probably clarify at this point that this is in Japan and he's Japanese) Explaining Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was hard. The basic exchange was something like: Me: So you know Sonic the Hedgehog? Him: That Sega character? Me: Yeah. So the villain's name is Dr. Eggman Him: Right. Me: Except in the west, he used to be called Dr. Robotnik. Him: Dr...What? Me: In the US they changed the graphics to be about him and his factory where he turns the Puyos into robots, but the Puyos are called beans. It was called Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine Him: What the gently caress is wrong with you people

No, just tracks from the games. They seemed to just be playing Amy's theme on loop when I went though. The second cafe didn't have any music as far as I can remember, probably because it shared some of its space with the Pen Pineapple Apple Pen cafe.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Oh huh, my bad then! Honestly, they're mostly like that. Certain cafes or sweets buffets do these promotions and alternate franchises every few months. They're fun for fans and have free goodies, but they aren't full blown cafes. Though some definitely do put more effort in than others. The PSO2 cafe had some neat stuff when I went. The Kirby one sounded pretty great though! It might have been more along the lines of what you were expecting. There are some actual dedicated cafes for some franchises though, like Gundam, One Piece, and Monster Hunter (I think). Those are awesome! The "Square Enix Cafe" serves their own fancy food that has nothing to do with their products, but their store in Shinjku has a cafe with FF drinks and food. Odd. Anyway, Snoic Generatons officially has a character creator now

The only Scourge comics I read (unless you count when he was evil Sonic back in the 90s) was the arc where he gets sent to interdimensional prison and gets bullied by an evil Big the Cat named Smalls. Also he teams up with the lovely "Fearsome Foursome" villains that I think only appeared way back when I read the comic in elementary school, and they were actually cool. Ian Flynn made the comics really good and while I didn't really keep up with them, I'm still sad that they're probably cancelled.
